Unveiling damped spring pendulum dynamics and constants through smartphone-integrated LiDAR sensors.

This article discusses the use of LiDAR-enabled smartphones to study the dynamics and constants of a damped spring pendulum. Traditional experiments using smartphone accelerometers have limitations in analyzing the damping of the movement. LiDAR technology, which measures distances with high precision, provides a more intuitive alternative for studying the spring pendulum. The article describes the theoretical background, experimental setup, data collection, and data analysis process. The results show that the integration of smartphone-based LiDAR technology is valuable in measuring the oscillation of the damped spring pendulum and analyzing its intrinsic parameters. The article concludes by highlighting the potential of smartphone technology and LiDAR for investigating classical physics phenomena. [Extracted from the article]
